Welcome to this wonderful new space. It will be a place for all of us to learn, create, share, and offer insight to each other...


In Paula Kluth's book, "You're Going to Love This Kid!", Paula talks about, "how no one forgets a good teacher. A good teacher certainly needs to know how to develop lesson plans and draw students into learning. It is the teacher's orientation toward the student that is the most powerful predictor of success in the classroom. A teacher's beliefs matter. Her language matters. Her relationship with the students matter. Her values matter. Students surely know when and if the teacher believes they will learn and be successful. Consider the words of Stephen Shore, a man with Asperger's syndrome: The best lessons, curricular adaptations, and teaching strategies are useless if a teacher does not expect the learner to achieve, consistently question his or her own assumptions, and constantly reflect upon the attitudes, values, and actions he or she brings to the daily work of teaching and learning".....so lets begin this journey...together....
